How we checked prices

We include well-known launch platforms and the submission services from our directory submission services comparison. The list is not complete. We read each third-party price on the vendor's own page on the date shown. When a live page did not load, the row says so and links to an archived copy. A price can change after that date. Smol Launch prices come from our live catalog. Within Other providers, free-only rows come first, then rows by their lowest published paid price, then rows with no published price. The order is not a ranking.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to launch on Product Hunt?
Launching on Product Hunt is free (checked 25 Sep 2026). Product Hunt sells advertising separately, and that is not a launch fee.
What is the cheapest way to launch a product?
Launch for free. 12 of the 13 other launch platforms in this table have a free route, including Hacker News (Show HN), Product Hunt, Uneed, and Fazier. A free route often means a longer wait, so check each row. BetaList has no free route.
Are paid launch platforms worth it?
A paid tier can buy faster review or extra placement, depending on the platform. It does not guarantee a ranking or results; compare what each price includes.
How much does a directory submission service cost?
Per-listing services charge by directory (SaaSListing.co: $3 per directory, or $99 / $229 packages), and packages in this table start at $35 (SubmitWell). The scope is different for each provider, so compare the directory count and the terms. PushSaaS has no confirmed current price.
